Magician Rangoonwala alias Babu stays in a rented house owned by Ananthan, who works as a security personnel in a private firm. Three months after hosting any shows, Rangoonwala gets a call for hosting a magic show in a nearby school on republic day. The only condition was that the show could house a trick in which a beautiful lady should portray the "Vanishing Beauty" event. After facing frequent requests from her Grandmother, Sridevi, the daughter of Ananthan agrees to take up the role. Despite getting good applause for all the tricks, the magic show ends on a sad note at the end as the vanishing beauty event fails, since Sridevi is not able to get out of the box.
Have seen the bird without a nest before
alongside the vanishing grazing herd
during a childhood that scaled the valley and mountain
at the slope of a hill where the sky descends
beneath the bush where desire writhes
in the shade of a mangrove daydream and so on,
have often spotted the bird without a nest.
We had spotted her! She was slowly moving away from her kill and into the open. Once she noticed us, she stopped and disappeared. I had heard about large cats vanishing without moving but had attributed it to researchers exaggerating about the elusiveness of their study species. Now I believe it.
